too much forced sterilization went on in the 20th century for that one to ever be revisited not to mention the notorious one child policy of China; though clearly not as extreme as a sterilization policy, human rights groups rightly I think win the argument against it [now may finally be dropped] Coercion of course becomes the problem I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5098 | You don't hear this sort of thing too much about the Apollo missions to the moon
the article is actually about an Israeli [really?] moonshot that intentionally left a form of life that is expected to survive [but doomed to remain dormant] . Naturally the stuck-as-teenager part of my brain latched on to the poop thing. https://phys.org/news/2019-08-hordes-earth-toughest-creatures-moon.html https://phys.org/news/2016-01-tardigrade-brought-life-frozen-years.html I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5098 | Just now up to date on the fact that Israel and India both had 'fails' on their recent moon missions. We can't gloat as we've had spectacular fails too, so that's not my point, but I have to think a fail rankles more for countries like that who are attempting to get some dap about their advancing technological prowess. article on Indian fail: https://apnews.com/0a042dbaf2e246389c131398126ab5bc I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

If the rocket blows up or telescope fails to operate, it will be one of the biggest science disappointments of the decade.. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans?
